"If I never see it again, I just hope it goes to somebody who will love it."

Scott, who lives in the Holy Cross neighborhood, said she isn't surprised that her house was broken into or that her instruments were targeted.

Her guitars might have been worth a couple of thousand dollars, but to her they were priceless. Yet somehow, the burglars overlooked one item.

"It's amazing that they left my Guild, which is my acoustic guitar," Scott said.

That Guild guitar actually survived the floods of Hurricane Katrina to come into her hands. And looking back, she finds motivation in fellow musician Peter Holsapple who lost nearly everything in the storm, except a Guild, just like hers.

"When I feel sorry for myself, I just think everything he made happens with only one guitar," she said.

Scott and her fiance, who lives in the same home, remain shaken, but they believe thanks to an outpouring of support they once again feel at home.
